It all started 18 000 years ago…
Archaeologists have founded remains of einkorn wheat in the lands around the delta of the river Nile and the Egyptian pyramids as well as in the Thracian tombs (located today on the territory of the Bulgarian republic), that is why the einkorn is known as the “Ancient wheat of the Pharaohs” and “The bread of the Thracians”.
Einkorn is the root stock (the mother and father) of all wheats that we eat today. All wheats varieties created later, originate from the einkorn. The einkorn is the only wheat that grows in its rudimental form, all other types of wheat are modified with human interventions and crossbreeding of different crops. That is why all modern crops are very fragile and need chemical treatment. The einkorn is the only wheat that does not absorb all harmful substances, chemicals and heavy metals from the soil.
